A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
School is done for the year, especially out here in the Southwest suburbs. It just makes me ill that these teachers and administrative people are getting paid. Not bad hey, 180 days minus 10 weeks if classes don’t resume. 130 days of work give or take a few days.
The government is now paying current employees to not work, and they’re also paying former employees to not work too, through pensions. What a scam.
